Getting started

(Note: Some features described in this Git Book are currently in development.

First things first: First things first: You'll need to choose a role in the colony. Currently, you can choose between Landowner and Avatar (or both).

Both landowners and Avatars are necessary for the Colonies to thrive. You'll want to treat each other fairly, as you're on the same team.

Landowners

Landowners are colonists who own land, entrepreneurial types that have to develop their land into useful settlements. Landowners are the ones who build the Colony and evolve it over type.

While the colonies are not strictly capitalistic (a blend of economic ideologies is at play), as a Landowner, you can profit from the CLNY your plots automatically generate and from certain limited structure use fees (coming soon).

Your relationship with Avatars is symbiotic. They gather resources you'll need to build, and you generate CLNY tokens (the currency of the Colonies), which they'll want to purchase items or upgrades.

To start as a landowner, you must acquire at least one land plot.

Avatars

Avatars are the adventurous types looking to explore the ends of the planet and the galaxy. As an Avatar, you'll earn rewards for completing missions, joining guilds, crafting items and upgrades, building mechs and droids, and joining in colony-wide initiatives to build megastructures (coming soon).

Your relationship with Landowners is symbiotic. They'll want the resources you gather, and you'll enjoy the CLNY they mint and the structures they build. No one needs sleep in the metaverse, so we, Gen Z and Millennials, won't have to worry about boomer landowners driving up housing prices.

To get started as an Avatar, you must acquire an avatar (avi).
